The National Museum of Computing
InsightSoftware.com is proud to announce it has recently become the first Foundation Sponsor of The National Museum of Computing. The museum is based at Bletchley Park in the UK and houses the Colossus computer, made famous during the Second World War for cracking the Nazi Enigma codes.
The National Museum of Computing is dedicated to showing the development of computing in its broadest sense from the pioneering wartime efforts that resulted in Colossus, to the products and systems we use today.
